LOZ state park, Grand Glaize, 5/18-5/19

[rlsiv]

Took the wife and kids to LOZ for the weekend. First time the boat has been in the water since last fall. Camped at the State Park and fished out of PB1 up to about party cove.
Did pretty darned well all around... bite was hot early, breeze would pick up and make it a little tougher, and bite was good late. Most bigger fish caught about 6'-8' deep in 13'-15' of water, and on minnows. Used some jigs as well but most of the action was on minnows. Seemed several times that we were catching 8.5" crappie 2:1 vs keepers. Largest right at 14", a couple of 12", most in the 9-11" range.

All in all a great weekend. Lots of fish, got a little sun, and celebrated the kids being out of school for the summer.

Happy to give a report. Historically I've gotten a lot more out of this site/group than I've put into it, so its nice that on the odd day I actually get to go fishing AND find some fish, I feel like I should let other know.
Going to give it a shot on Truman this weekend, out of Bucksaw. Hope it goes as well.

Great Report!! Thanks. I was thinking about hitting the upper glaize with my 2 1/2 year old some night this week. Were they staying close to structure or just out suspended? Trumans was good to us last saturday seemed like they were both suspended and next to trees. Seemed in the middle of the seasonal patterns.

Buffalo Water - most we caught early were hanging around structure so we just started hitting spots we knew had brush or rocks at the right depth.

Nice to hear Lake O is still fishable at this point. Usually this weekend is ridiculous so I stay away.
